2 c. white sugar
2 c. brown sugar
3 c. flour
6 c. rolled oats
2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 c. lard (no substitutes)
1/2 c. raisins, soaked a few minutes in hot water
3/4 c. pecans
4 whole beaten eggs
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla

Combine sugars and lard. Mix until creamy. Sift dry ingredients together. Mix well remaining ingredients. Shape the mixture into rolls 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Store in refrigerator overnight. Cut into 1/4 inch slices and bake at 350 degrees until done.

Mixture will keep for a reasonable time in refrigerator. Slice off desired amounts and bake. The thicker the slice, the bigger the cookie and the longer it will take to bake.

McKinney's Cafe was a restaurant located in downtown Jefferson City for many years and they served these huge oatmeal cookies, the best in town!!
